X-Axis in Line Graph

I have yet to figure out how to define a data range to use as my x-axis in a line plot. Sure, I could use an XY scatter (that can't have lines) but what if I have 4 Y variables? There is obviously something missing since, if you display the x category labels in the line graph, you get "untitles 1" etc.
Bug or missing feature?

From what I have found through trial and error, for a line graph, the column you want to be the titles on the X-axis has to be formatted as "text" when you highlight the data to plot. If it is a numeric value, Numbers will treat that column/row as a second series of data rather than X axis labels. Same goes for bar charts. Unfortunately it assumes the data is uniformly distributed so if you want lines connecting points on data with irregularly spaced x-values this sort of chart doesn't seem to be appropriate.
I think they really need to add that functionality to the scatter plots as well.

  • How to display no. of seconds in HH:MM:SS format on Y-Axis in Line Graph

    Hi All,
    I have two columns as No. of Seconds and Date.
    I want to create a Line Graph with Date on Horizontal Axis (X - Axis) and, on Vertical Axis (Y - Axis) I want to represent the No. of Seconds as HH:MM:SS format.
    For example, If the DB returns No. of Seconds as 93, I want to get it on Vertical Axis as 00:01:33 (00 hours, 01 Minute, 33 seconds), If it is 145 seconds , I want to get it as 00:02:25....etc.
    Can anyone please help me on this ?

    Srini VEERAVALLI I already used this code and I'm getting HH:MM:SS format in Table View, but my requirement is I need to represent the HH:MM:SS format on Vertical Axis in Graph View. In Graph View by default it's considering No. of Seconds only.....
    Srini VEERAVALLI, is your full name is Srinivas Veeravalli ?

  • Hide values to be displayed along Y-axis in line graph

    Hi friends,
    I need to generate a line graph using Oracle reports. But the values along y-axis should not be displayed. Can anyone help me how to hide displaying values along the y-axis
    Thanks,
    venkat

    Venkat,
    I am not sure if it can be hidden. I will update this thread if I find something. But for now, what you can do is, create a Rectangle over the y-axis values. Change the background color of the rectangle same as graphs color, and line color as 'No Line'. It will hide the values.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem in setting axis(x and y) in line graph

    Hi All,
    I have a database table student with two column score(number data type) and "no of student"(number data type). With this table I want a jsp line graph which will describe the student table.Score col would be in X axis and the other one in y axis.I am not able to set score in x axis. I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.
    By using scatter graph I am able to set score in x axis and "no of student" in y axis.But my requirement is line graph.So, is there any way to achieve a line graph where score would be in x axis and "no of students" would be in y axis?
    Can any body help me regarding this matter?

    Hi,
    If you are still looking for the solution to this, you can change the graph to display the way you require.
    If you have a graph def file like BIGraphDef1.xml you need to select it in the application navigator. Then in the Structure window select the top level (ex. BIGraph1). This will give you the options available in the property inspector.
    If you change the dataRowShownAsASeries from True to False, you should be able to display your data in the line graph.

    Standard syntax on the Mac is Object, Action. The order is always Select an object (in this case, part of a spreadsheet), then perform an action on or with tat object (in this case, make a chart).
    The same syntax applies to Copy or Cut (and to Paste, althyough it's not as obvious there—the object is whatever is currently on the Clipboard).
    I don't think there is information on printing charts/graphs in the online help. A chart is a graphics object, and is printed as part of the document that contains it. Printing the spreadsheet should also print the chart, provided it is on a page that contains data (AppleWorks's default is to print only the rows and columns that contain data). If you want to print the chart without any of the data, drag the chart over the data to conceal it, and choose the Print options that do not show column or row headers and the cell grid. (These are probably in the AppleWorks options in your Print dialogue, but their position will depend on your print driver.)
    Placing the object (the chart) in another document provides an easier method of printing only the chart, and the method you used (dragging the chart from the spreadsheet to the second document is a common and acceptable one. Dragging an object from one document to another places a copy of the object on the second document, and leaves the original on the original document. This is true in general, not just for charts.
    In the case of a chart, the copy is a static object, while the original maintains its live connection to the underlying spreadsheet—changing a graphed value in the spreadsheet will change the graph to match the new value, but will not affect the copy in the second document.

  • ADF11g: dvt, line graph x-axis (o1 axis) display issue

    Hi,
    In our application we are generating line graphs for a set of data.
    This graph is plotted in between 2 sets of numeric values. (one plotted on x-axis and other on y-axis).
    For better accuracy of plotted graph we are using these numeric values upto 7 decimal places. (for example 8.1234567)
    Now when graph is plotted, then on x-axis (that is o1- axis in case of Line Graph) the tick labels are showing upto 7 decimal places.
    Is there any way so that I could control the display of these tick labels to 1 decimal place instead of 7 decimal places?
    More Info:
    ++The tick labels for x and y axis are generated at runtime by some calculation logic.++
    ++If we set the tick labels for x axis to 1 decimal place instead of 7 decimal places when they are generated , then this will lead to build in accurate graphs.++
    ++So we can't control the decimal format of tick labels when they are generated. We need to control it when they are displayed.++
    Please help...
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Frank,
    this is not working :( . It holds good for the case where one has to display markers (tick labels) on the lines of line graph and not the tick labels on the axis.
    Moreover here i find out tag as *<dvt:x1Format>*
    where as line graphs does not support x1axis they have o1axis .
    In my case I need to control display of tick labels on the o1axis.

  • How do you switch the x and y axis in a line graph?

    I am fairly new with this program and I need to make a line graph for a science lab report. For the lab, we needed to use a certain amount of water, which was 20 ml, 40 ml, 60 ml, then 80 ml, and we needed to measure the mass of different substances if they had the given values of the volume, and compare their mass and volume in a line graph.
    Therefore, the graph that I need to create requires a constant 4 steps, which are always 20 ml, 40 ml, 60 ml, and 80 ml, for all of the four substances I used during the experiment. That needs to be on the y axis. I need to have the mass of the substances on the x axis, but no matter what I have tried I cannot seem to switch the x and y axis...how can I do that?

    Nevermind I figured it out

  • Line Graph  X-axis Value

    Hi ,
    I Created line graph in ADF X axis - date , Y axis Amount and Currency Mixed Frequency Line graph
    For ex : X - axis dates are 01-jan-2011 to 10-jan-2011
    y - axis are amount and currency
    when i click particular currency line (on 05-jan-2011) how i will get the x axis value 05-jan-2011
    Thanks

    Check the range against which line is plotted, you may have to reduce that range to see accurate values.

  • Issue with Date Format in line Graph X-AXIS

    Hi all,
    I have a line graph, with data in x-axis and integer values in y-axis.
    I am fetching data in Mon-dd-yyyy format but in graph (x-axis) it showing in yyyy-mm-dd format.
    How to change this format.
    Regards,
    Krishna Prasad

    Hi,
    Basically you are trying to convert a date into date which is not advisable. Hence convert it to char and then equate it against a character value. Also do not use trunc as it will trim out the time part of the date.
    select * from test
               where to_char(dob,'RRRR/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS')=:p1Then pass the parameter

  • Line Graph x axis tick label date format

    Hi to all,
    how can i format the date of the x axis label of a line graph?
    by now the date label is shown with a timestamp, e.g. 01.12.11 00:00.
    How can i change this to a simple date like 01.12.11?
    Please help. Thank you.
    Best regards
    Gunnar

    I would think that the datatype of the date attribute is a TimeStamp ? If yes changing it should help ..

  • How to set the 4th Y axis color for a line graph

    Hello experts,
    I have developed a multiple y axis line graph using oracle reports 10g.
    It has got 1 x axis and 4 axes. I am able to set the color of the the first three y axes
    but the reports designer automatically assigns yellow color to the 4th axis.
    I mean there is no option in the graph wizard for changing the 4th color)
    How to change the color of this 4th y axis to a desired color?
    Cheers
    Sri

    Assuming you mean that your graph has 4 series, not 4 Y axes, you might try something like this:
    1. Save a backup copy of your current report in case the changes you are about to make don't work out and you want to revert to the backup copy.
    2. Using the Property Inspector, display the current value of the Graph Settings property for your graph. The value of the property should be something like:
    <rw:graph id...
    </rw:graph>3. Look for a <SeriesItems> tag and a matching </SeriesItems> tag in the property value. If you don't find them, add the following two lines immediately before the </Graph> tag.
    <SeriesItems>
    </SeriesItems>4. Between the <SeriesItems> tag and the matching </SeriesItems> tag, add (or update) a <Series> tag for each series that you want to specify the color for. For example, to specify the color of the fourth series as red, you would use a <Series> tag like this:
    <Series id="3" color="#ff0000"/>Note that the id numbers start at 0 for the first series, 1 for the second, and so on. The color value is a hexadecimal number specifying the RGB value of the color.
    You can also use the <Series> tag to specify other features like the marker shape.
    For more information on what you can do using the Graph Settings property, see this FAQ and Technical Note.
    Hope this helps.

  • Customize X Axis range in Stacked Line Graph

    I have built a stacked line graph. The values on x-axis range from 0 to 5,00,000. Howvever when the graph is displayed the maximum range that is shows is around 90,000-1,00,000. Is there a way to select specific values for X-Axis.
    Thanks,

    Mike,
    It works fine here. Does your current date display properly in the Table where the =NOW() formula is?
    Have you tried stretching out your table to make more room for labels?

  • Help needed in plotting Line Graph!!!!!!!!!Pls help!!

    Hi, i need help in plotting a simple line graph showing the x&y axis and has to plot 3 different lines in the same graph.I have written a program and i need to implement this graph in it.Is there any tutorial for plotting line graphs,i mean steps included.
    Please help!

    You describe your need, but not where it originates from.
    Is it a programming assignment? If so, I hope this is not your chosen major, as you will fail because you are a non-resourceful plagarist.
    Do you need to simply graph some data? Use an existing package. There are free ones somewhere.
    What do you mean "i have written a program and i need to implement this graph in it"? If you wrote the program, wouldn't you be done?
    Enjoy programming

  • 11.1.1.5 - Measure labels are appearing in legend (line graph)

    I've created a line graph in 11.1.1.5. My legend is showing a combination of the column value and the measure name (e.g. Web Sales, Direct Sales, Retail Sales). I want my legend to simply say Web, Direct, and Retail, without the appended 'Sales' measure label.
    The Measure Labels tile is currently residing in the Vary Color By (Horizontal Axis) zone, along with the legend column, so I guess it makes sense that the legend column and the measure labels would both show up in the legend (although I don't think that was the case in 11.1.1.3). However, there doesn't appear to be any place into which I can relocate the Measure Labels tile so that the word Sales DOESN'T appear on the line graph. If I move the Measures Labels tile into Graph Prompts, Sections, or Group By (Horizontal Axis), the word Sales appears in those locations. If I attempt to move that tile into the Lines (Vertical Axis) box, or into the Excluded box, it won't allow being dropped there.
    Switching between line, bar, and area graphs reveals the same problem in all graph types.
    Is there any way to supress the display of measure labels on graphs in 11.1.1.5?

    Hi Paul,
    This is the feature in 11g obiee displaying the Measue heading and dimension value... like u said right Web Sales...and so on.
    Here in u case web is the value of dimension and Sales is heading of a measure.
    One way is if u are not using any dimension apart from 1 dim and fact u can put measure labels in the group by axis and dimension column in the show in legend section then it will give u only web.
    But if u have 2 dimension then we have to put this measure labels with either one of the dimensions in this case heading of the measure wil display.
    Thanks

  • Marker Shape in Legend - Line Graph

    Hello,
    I have recently upgraded from 10g Release 1 to 10g Release 2.
    I am using a line graph. In Release 1, the data marker shapes show up in the legend. In Release 2, they don't. In Graph.xml, I have set the Graph element to have the attribute markerShapeInLegend="true".
    Does anybody else have this problem and/or know of a solution?
